Re: London Senior Cup Semi Final - Hendon v Dartford Tue 23 Apr 2024

Whilst I will NOT be going tonight I will be interested to see the starting 11 with subs that Ade has decided to ask to play , presumably [ other than possible injuries] will give us an early insight who is likely to NOT be staying for next season ??

Either way hope we progress to the final !!!!!

Re: CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS

When Tommy Block is on the pitch I also agree that he is a very good player , I hope his contract is on a "Pay as you play deal " or else its another one hell of a gamble ?????

I just hope that Luke Allen aint on same 2 years deal ??????

Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024

No room for Allen [ 60 starts in 5 seasons] or Block , both high earners and high injury risk , Wynter goes missing when the going gets tough in midfield and our penalty box so past his best , Aduardo , good 1st season , poor this , worth keeping on but needs to wise up positionally , Rooney , I'd k...

Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024

I do believe that Ade is an honest guy and he has make certain statements regarding the way forward for next season, starting with the Board advising him next week of his budget for next season and already talking to Players that he believes will fit , with current players contracts now finished he ...

Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024

Rallying call from Ade for the the team to finish with pride and 3pts , bit difficult to get excited about the vast majority of them who havent performed all season and to bother in a meaningless last game , I'M going really to see the fans for a last craic till July [ preseason] and in the vain hop...

Re: Yeovil Town v Dartford Sat 13 Apr 2024

Amongst the shambles of the late season games one player has stood out as as class act and he should be aware of the thanks from Darts fans for his performances and effort and I feel sure that IF he can carry on with his current potential he will become a Football League Player , credit to Adie for ...

Re: Yeovil Town v Dartford Sat 13 Apr 2024

My final thoughts on The Darts in the NLS as my interests now lie in whats going to happen next season which will determine whether Ade Pennock is the man to get us promoted and depend on how ruthless he is with the current squad and bringing in their replacements , promoting the best of our Academy...

Re: The state of Dartford football club

In my post I stressed that any incoming CEO/Chairman would have a target and of course thats performance rated, nobody with only half a brain cell would offer a starter salary anywhere near £100k but there is so much hidden potential on ways to bring money in , inhouse catering , music concerts ,spo...

Re: The state of Dartford football club

The Club now needs a Chairman who lives locally and is very hands on so as to plan and drive the Club onto bigger and better things . In no way am I disrespecting the terrific job that Dave Skinner and Steve Irving but the facts are that with the sad passing of Dave and Steve now residing in the Lak...

Re: Dartford v Worthing Tue 9 Apr 2024

I quite like the idea that IF we are relegated before the last game [ Truro at home ] then play the best of the very successful Academy side which could mean a starting 11 of the following x = Academy lad Wray X X Nelson X Shomotun Allen [if fit] Rooney Coulson X Box On the Bench : 5 Academy lads Re...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

Just noticed that Jordan Wynter got MOTM , incredible , they were ALL pretty dire but he sits in front of the back 4 , hardly breaks sweat, doesnt tackle , only passed safe balls sideways or back and all season has been full of mistakes , I can only assume Wynters family or friends sponsored the mat...

Whilst I agree with the previous posts I dont agree with the criticism of Ady as he [ as we all know] inherited a " croc of s..t] with little time to really make a difference and providing he stays for Ryman football there is no reason as to why he doesnt have a good chance of doing well next s...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

Rooney and Block are 2 of the 4 I would keep for the Isthmian League but I doubt they would sign as they are NLS standard, the other 2 are v good potential , [ no reason to believe/loyalty would / should come into it ?] Over the 65 mins I toughed it out , Rooney was my MOTM but Block did play very w...

Whilst only a novice in terms of supporting the Darts [25 years +] I left for the 1st time ever today as its just not worth watching a load of dross and I really hope that at the end of the season only 4 of the current squad stay and the rest depart never to be seen again !!!!
